and a crowd of supporters rather than in a quiet studio and going one-on-one with mitt romney. i do think we are likely to see in the town hall meeting a very aggressive president obama, and that is dangerous, because, you know, there is aendency to go overboard and certainly the rhetoric of the last day or two from team obama, calling mitt romney a liar, that is unpresidential. we expect a certain tone from the participants in the debate and the president, while needing to become aggressive has got to be very careful that he doesn't go overboard as his campaign is in the last few days. martha: is the town hall setting going to be better? >> it might be somewhat belts. we had a town hall meeting format the other day with a moderator asking questions and the two men going at it for an extended period of time. i thought it was a very useful format for both of them. if president obama had brought his a game he might have done a heck of a lot better, he didn't. the town hall meeting will give them the same kind of a chance they had in the first debate and that is to give a series o

awaiting a foreign policy speech by romney. this is a brand-new hour of america's live on a monday, columbus day. how are you doing? >> i'm patti ann brown in for martha maccallum today. the governor begins in an hour. his remarks range from hopes for peace in the middle east to suspect things about the attack on 9/11 in libya. he says, the attacks on libya should not be seen as random acts. they are attacks that are playing out across the broader middle east. bill: he says i believe america does not lead others will follow. i think what that goes to is the power vacuum that is now open for moscow or beijing, or perhaps a fundamentalist group to fill that power vacuum. and all the hot spots that pop up around the world, how do you think governor romney can make that case? >> i think he can make a reasonable argument there. i've read the excerpts of the speech made available and they seem to be effective language to criticize the administration on a number of points and create a contrast, not only on things like the response in

that is why you saw mitt romney give that very muscular speech today over at virginia military institute talking about the potential for war in the middle east if events continue the way that they are going right now. that was pretty tough talk coming from mitt romney in that speech earlier today. >> jim acosta, appreciate it. dan lothian, thank you very much. >>> let's talk about what the polls could be telling us. ari fleischer joins us, a part-time unpaid communications adviser to the romney campaign. also obama 2012 pollster, cornell belcher and david gergen, senior political analyst. cornell, this is the first poll taken entirely after the debate although it's just one poll, certainly not a good indicator for president obama or his campaign. what do you make of it? >> well, look, i think we always said this is going to be a tight race, and it's going to continue to be a tight race. there's other polls out there, the political battleground poll came out today showed the president slightly ahead. reuters poll came out friday that showed the president slightly ahead. but look, it's not
